I’m sitting here writing this with a heavy heart, trying to find the words to do justice to someone who meant so much to me — my nan. She wasn’t just my grandmother; she was like a second mum to me. In so many ways
From the very beginning, Nan was always there. Her home was my safe place, her arms my comfort, her words my guide. She looked after me, raised me, and taught me right from wrong. She showed me what it meant to love unconditionally. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do for me, and she gave without ever asking for anything in return.
She was strong, kind, funny, and full of love. She had that way of making everything feel okay, even when the world felt like it was falling apart. Whether it was a cup of tea and a chat or some gossip Nan had a way of making me feel cared for in a way no one else could.
I don’t think I can ever put into words just how much she did for me, and how deeply I cared for her. she shaped me into the person I am today. And I’ll carry her lessons, her laughter, and her love with me for the rest of my life.
Losing her feels like losing a part of myself, but I know her spirit lives on in the memories we shared and the love she gave so freely. I’ll miss her every single day, but I’ll also be forever grateful grateful that I got to call her my nan, and even more grateful for the time we had together.
Thank you, Nan, for everything. I love you more than words can say.
